Georgetown Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgetown Railroad Company (GRR) is a short-line railroad headquartered in Georgetown, Texas.
GRR operates two non-connected lines:
- The "Granger Branch", a 24.3 mile line from an interchange with Union Pacific at Kerr, Texas through Georgetown to an interchange with Union Pacific at Granger, Texas (the line was previously owned by Missouri Pacific)
- The "Belton Branch", a 5.9 mile line from Belton, Texas to an interchange with Union Pacific at Smith, Texas (the line was previously owned by Missouri-Kansas-Texas)
GRR traffic generally consists of crushed stone, but ammonium nitrate, lumber, and grain are also handled by GRR.
GRR incorporated in 1958 and began operations on the Granger Branch in 1959, and on the Belton Branch in 1991.
